jan 1, 1838 - Organization of Underground Railroad 1838

Description:

The Organization of the Underground Railroad was the creation of routes and places that helped a range of 40,000 to 100,000 slaves reach the north. This was very significant to the Civil War because abolitionists used the stories of escape to gain support for their cause and was a great form of civil disobedience.
